Any reading recommendations for exploring this further?
I read "The Way of Zen" by Alan Watts and it completely changed my existence. It really got me away from concepts like searching for meaning, purpose, and making things better.

Random people would just message you this out of the blue. When I was about 10 or 11 some girl did this and we figured out we lived two hours away from each other. We ended up talking and kept in touch for years. Eventually our family’s had planned a vacation to the same city at the same time and we met up in person finally and had a good time. It never turned into a relationship but we kept in touch until I was in my early twenties. It just seemed like a different world compared to the social networking of today. Things were more innocent and there was a lot more inherit trust between people online.
If you want best in class safety tech and no dealer markups, you can just order a Tesla online
I’m not an Elon hater but Tesla is the worst offender on Mozillas privacy study.

Any news on when Bevy will have some legit documentation? I know there was a branch in work a while back that looked to have some in depth docs, but it doesn’t seem like it’s made its way into a release. This has always been a huge hurdle for me with Bevy. I really just don’t want to wade through discord to figure out how to use it. Wishing the best and awesome work. I think I’ll give bevy another shot once there’s an editor and good docs!

Battery life gets mentioned quite often with laptops, but is it still really that important?
I run my business from an X1 Carbon, but it's more about portability than battery life. Trains, planes, Starbucks all have power available so it's constantly plugged in and I can't remember the last time I used it on battery for more than an hour.
I recently got my first macbook (coming from a thinkpad) and it’s honestly more about not having to give a shit about a charger. It charges incredibly fast when I plug it into its monitor, but otherwise I just throw it in a bag without even thinking about what my battery percentage is. I’ll leave the house with it and not even bring the charger.

To me, remote work makes cities a more attractive place live than the suburbs. A family doesn’t need 2 or 3 cars anymore. You can live and work in a walkable neighborhood and get most of your errands done during the week, avoiding times of congestion. Work from a cafe or park instead of a basement or garage.
You don’t need 2-3 cars living rurally either. My wife and I dropped down to 1 vehicle a year ago with her being a stay at home mom and myself working remote.

1. I have a character limit, it doesn't
2. It throws multiple arguments at you
3. Then it stops the debate after a certain point
4. It repeats its arguments
5. then the AI judge says "AI provides logical consistency and use of evidence" despite citing no sources and just brushing aside my counter arguments by saying I'm wrong and repeating its arguments.
Ultimately it wasn't all that different than regular GPT. Is it even possible for the AI judge to say that the user wins?
I made three vague 1 sentence arguments and the judge announced that I won. I definitely felt like I got crushed by gpt but I guess it went soft on me :/

I can definitely relate to your experience. Just last week, I leveraged AI tools to develop some data processing code. Estimating how long it would have taken me to write that code without these tools is a challenge because, to be honest, a year ago I wouldn't have even considered attempting such a project. It might have required a week or even two of my time, which I simply cannot spare for this kind of undertaking. In the absence of these powerful AI tools, I would have opted for a more manual approach, like analyzing the data using Excel. It's fascinating to witness the impact AI has on our productivity and the expansion of possibilities it brings.
I've noticed it as well. The most recent example I can think was with gitlab webhooks. I need to manage (create/delete/edit) a lot of web hooks across a lot of different projects. I normally would have probably just started doing it by hand in the web ui, but instead I had some python code from gpt to automate it in a few minutes.
